Vicksburg Warren School District Superintendent Elizabeth Swinford told the Vicksburg Post that the unidentified 11-year old was suspended for 10 days and will appear before the district's Disciplinary Review Committee.

Swinford said the student did not make threatening statements and was showing the grenade to friends when a teacher at the school was alerted to it.

Swinford said the committee will make a recommendation that the child be allowed to return to school after a 10-day period, spend half a semester at Grove Street School, finish the year at Grove Street or be expelled.

Swinford said that had the grenade been active, the child would have been immediately expelled.
